The COVID-19 pandemic has made all of us more thankful for the basic, important things in our lives – things like the health and safety of our families, and the support of our communities. So many people have come forward to say “thank you” and offer words of encouragement to health care workers all across the region. These simple acts mean so much. Our #ThanksHealthHeroes gratitude campaign, detailed in this newsletter, is a way to keep those messages coming during these difficult times. I am inspired by, and grateful for, the strength and resilience of our UVM Health Network team and the communities we serve.

Video Visits Help Flatten the Curve

Video visits allow us to stay safely at home, while still giving access to the care we need now. This helps protect our our community and reduces the burden on our healthcare providers.
